Hats off to our amazing winter volunteers! In addition to normal program operations, they have been hand-walking our horses during break weeks and freezing temperatures and cleaning muddy horses now that the snow has melted and our pastures are mud!

A sight we love to see - our horses relaxing comfortably in their stalls after a full night outside!

Turnout has been limited over the past few weeks due to icy conditions in our pastures. We’re so thankful to the staff and volunteers who have been hand walking the horses for some extra exercise, and we’re thrilled that the pastures have thawed (for now!) and the horses are back to a more normal turnout schedule.

While January is one of our quieter months at the farm, we are still operating programs with approximately 80 participants each week! Our team has also been hard at work keeping the property safely traversable in winter weather, training and onboarding new horses, and planning exciting new programming for 2026!

January 1st marks not only the first day of the Year of the Horse, but also the unofficial birthday of many of our horses - a default for many breeds along with many horses who are unregistered.

George’s friend Nancy stopped by with a birthday gift; this big guy is 21 years old! 🎉

Rosalia has enjoyed getting to know the staff, horses, and fellow volunteers at Equi-librium.

"The staff at Equi-librium are truly dedicated and exemplary individuals who care for the horses, barn, animals, land, and mission with unparalleled care and dedication," says Rosalia. "The instructors lead with compassion, kindness, skill, creativitiy, and respect. The volunteers are truly special, generous individuals, who are the backbone of the program, without whom the mission could not be the success that it is. Continuing education and volunteer enrichments are the heartbeat of the program, bridging the importance of equine partnerships, safety, supporting participants, and programs.

The horses are extraordinary and sentient beings, that offer more than a ride, their strength for pulling, or their bodies for grooming. They offer their heats, their whole selves, their spirit, and their divine knowing for the beauty of unspoken connection. The time in their presence is a present. It’s living in the moment and the beauty of letting everything else go.

This is what Equi-libtium and its mission mean to me. It’s healing. It’s holistic. It’s life-changing.

Rosalia participated in our seasonal HOPE program designed for parents and caregivers of individuals with special needs.

"I participated in the HOPE program at Equi-librium, and I began my journey of connection to mindfulness with my first equine partner, Rosie, with her sparkly boots," says Rosalia. "I understood why once you experience being the presence of a horse you forget what time it is, and you never want to leave the barn, or you count down the days until you get to come back. Eventually I worked with Libby, too, who offered new lessons on leadership, connection, and communication. Rosie and Libby helped me graduate from a side-helper to a leader.

Thanks to the program, I have learned to be more confident, find peace in stillness, and joy in giving back. My equine partners have mirrored my energy and have taught me to be present, breathe, and be confident in my choices. I love the challenge of learning new skills which contributes to my newfound confidence and calm. Volunteering has also been incredibly rewarding. The mini horse visits are some of my most cherished and rewarding ways to volunteer. From elementary-aged children to our respected elderly and everyone in between, the horses bring smiles, laughter, excitement, enrichment, and joy."

~ROSALIA'S STORY~

Rosalia volunteers as a leader and side-helper, and assists with special events and miniature horse outreach visits. She is also an Equi-librium HOPE participant, and the loving mother to Chloe, who was featured on our page earlier this week.

In Rosalia's words:

"Equi-librium has become a place of refuge for my heart. Every moment spent in the presence of the horses is a moment of healing. An opportunity to reconnect with myself and my heart in a way that I have never experienced before, because of the horse. A quieting of my mind that has not been achievable by any other modality of care.

It has been a privilege to be welcomed into the Equi-librium Family. The embrace has changed my life forever and for the better. I have had the honor to become a volunteer, serving our communities and those in need of reconnecting to their hearts and bodies with the help of our equine friends.

I am a mother, caregiver, and advocate to my incredible 15-year-old daughter born with a congenital physical disability. I am the daughter and caregiver to loving aging parents. I am the niece and caregiver to a sweet aging uncle, and I am a devoted wife, sister, and friend. In supporting and serving those I love, it often requires a tremendous amount of advocacy, problem solving, physical and emotional support, coordination of complex care, and transportation to copious medical appointments and tests. I am always in search of holistic solutions to manage my stress and anxiety. Yoga, dance, talk therapy, exercise, nothing I have ever tried has offered me the gift of stillness like being in the presence of the horse."

Our office is closed and so are our computers, and we are wishing everyone a wonderful holiday!

Our office will remain closed through the end of the week. During the week of December 29th, we will be open limited hours and are on a program break. Programs and normal office hours will resume on January 5th.

We are extremely grateful for our horse care and facilities staff and volunteers who will be continuing to keep the farm afloat! Rest assured that all of our horses will be quite pampered over these coming weeks!

The benefits of equine-assisted services have gone beyond the barn and arena for Chloe. In addition to helping her build strength, confidence, and flexibility, Equi-librium has benefitted other areas of her life.

"Another gift the farm has given my family and I are friendships," says Chloe. "I was really excited to learn that I would have opportunities to volunteer as well! Through the events that the farm hosts throughout the year, I like to sign up with my Mom and Dad and give back to the farm and our community. I’m also very thankful, because it has been very good for my Mom to also participate in different programs."

Chloe's other passion is theatre, where she truly shines on stage.

"Equine-assisted services have also benefited my love for theatre by allowing me to use my newfound strength and stamina to participate in productions," says Chloe. "While participating in a rehearsal for a Spring musical, I was able to be on my feet practicing choreography for over an hour before I needed rest. This was nor something I had ever achieved before, and again knew it was because of equine services."

Chloe's current instructor, Sara, has worked with Chloe during multiple sessions over the past year.

"I have been able to watch Chloe bloom into a determined rider, riding off-lead at a walk and trot without holding on and patiently working through any of the tests Libby throws at her," says Sara.

According to Chloe, she owes much of her success to that special little horse. Libby, a Quarter Horse mare, has been a staple in our programs for years, teaching some of our youngest through some of our oldest riders and everywhere in between.

"There is one really important being I would like to recognize, and that’s my equine partner, Libby," says Chloe. "Without Libby, none of this would have been possible. It’s hard to put into words how much this horse means to me, and she is more than just a horse; she is my friend and my partner. I will forever be grateful for how Libby has helped me through many transitions, feelings, big and small, and physically changed my life for the better."

Chloe takes weekly lessons at Equi-librium, and has worked with multiple instructors.

"Lessons at Equi-librium are always the highlight of my week and something I look forward to all the time.," says Chloe. "Each instructor is special and creative in their own way. In lessons, each instructor creates a fun obstacle course to challenge the rider. Personally, the obstacle courses are my favorite part of the lessons! Even if the weather is unsafe to ride in, we still receive valuable and creative activities to be a part of, like bathing the horse.

Some of my favorite classes have been breakout sessions with Christina. I love how she helps me to be a better rider and build my confidence. She also pushes me to be my very best and encourages me to believe in myself, even when I don’t. Breakout sessions are really beneficial because it is just 1:1, with the instructor and the rider.
This past May, I participated in my first horse show, and won my first three ribbons. It was a memorable day, and I was really grateful for my instructor, Sarah, who helped me prepare for the show.

When I started the program, one of my main goals was to become an independent rider in addition to graduating from needing a side helper. I am happy to share that I have been able to achieve these goals! I believe that one day I could even be an instructor myself."
